Great app

It is simple to use this. Hear or see the note, select the answer on a keyboard, then go to the next one. There’s plenty of customization.

Nice

It's good but when I connect my midi controller with network to my phone this app doesn't make any sound or melody either

And when I reinstall it again it's still not working

Yes yes so grateful

This all works like a charm and is helping me master piano so much quicker!!! Thank you for making it!!

Thank you!

Thank you for this app! The only way kids could nail down notes!

Easy and fun solution

I REALLY didnt want to learn to read music. It came a point in my lessons where it wasnt negotiable. I really have always hated to memorize for stuff. This is fun and super effective.

5 stars

Great for practicing notes

Mmmmm

Yummy I love eating dogs and cats, because im asian and I use this app.

It’s cool

I wish there was more customization but overall good app

The one to get

Clean, uncluttered and has all the features that paid versions have. The play by ear feature is also great for those who are want to improve their recognition of notes instead of just staff reading.

No need to put up with feature crippled apps or be bugged by invasive ads, this is the one to get. Great use of train rides home!

Very versatile

Best app I have found to help me learn my notes.

I have only just started using this and I quite enjoy it. It helps

.

amazing !

really good app . helped me read music in a couple of weeks . five minutes a day . accidentally clicked four but meant to click five !

Awesome!

This app is so cool!

Please, app creator, I beg

This app is fine, the only one I’m sticking with out of a plethora I’ve tried but also there are three things I beg of you.

1. As other have said, at least 1 additional octave on the piano. This is my least concern. My big ask is #3. Having a 3rd octave or an option for a 3rd octave would make this app excellent.

2. The back button on the play history tab doesn’t work?? I think it’s up too high on the screen to be responsive or something…at times I’m having to quit the app and restart to get back to the Home Screen.

3. This is it. This is the one. I fully expect this to be ignored and I’ve never asked for anything from an app developer a day in my life so here I present my boon request. I really really really really really wish there was a stopwatch option instead of a timer option. As someone trying to focus on accuracy, I’d rather time UP and try to beat a time to see how many ACCURATE notes I can get, rather than feel panic at only having 10 seconds to select any notes at all. Or additionally, a non timed accuracy streak option.

That’s it. Thank you for the help learning music, it really has been valuable for my skills, if not my anxiety. Bless and have a good day🙏🫡

There are no surprises

It is what it says on the box.

Has not been updated in FOUR YEARS

The app is buggy, broken on devices after home button was dropped.

Also just throws you in—there’s no “training”, these are just flash cards.

There’s not even an introduction into how to read sheet music.

Absolutely the best for improving sight reading speed!

James, you’re the best for making and releasing this for free! My sight reading has always been hampered by learning “Every Good Boy Does Fine” and “Great Big Dogs Fight Animals” as a child, and I still use those crutches to find the right note most of the time. I’m using your app to shed that thinking and wire the note to the key by practicing. This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Exactly What I Looking for

Use your MIDI keyboard to answer what note is on the staff, flash card style.

Good but keyboard doesn’t offer correct range

I really like this for learning to recognize notes quickly. However, the keyboard for piano is not expansive enough. There should be separate keyboard for treble and bass clefs. For example, ledger notes in treble clef can only be found on the keyboard an octave below because the keyboard ends before the ledger notes can be played. It confuses the brain to have to translate the played note to the one that is an octave below.

Otherwise the app is great!

Show the whole keyboard!

This app is great if your repertoire consists of music that is written using two octaves. A high D is played on the same place on the keyboard as a low D. This would be confusing as hell to new piano players. Why not show the whole keyboard??
